while sitting or lying. To carry out a
blood pressure measurement, make
sure you are sitting comfortably with
your arms and back leaning on
something. Do not cross your legs.
Place your feet flat on the ground. Make sure to rest

at heart level. Otherwise significant deviations can
occur. Relax your arm and the palm of your hand.

still during the measurement and not talk.

ton.
• Before the measurement, the last saved test result is
briefly displayed. If there is no measurement in the mem-
ory, the instrument always displays the value .
• The cuff automatically inflates. Cuff air pressure is
released slowly. If a tendency towards high blood pres-
sure is already detectable, the cuff is pumped up again

Evaluating results
Cardiac arrhythmia:
This instrument can identify possible cardiac arrhythmia
disorders during measurement and if necessary indicates
the measurement with the flashing icon
.
This may be an indicator for arrhythmia. Arrhythmia
is a condition where the heart rhythm is abnormal as
a result of defects in the bioelectrical system control-
ling the heart beat. The symptoms (omitted or prema-
ture heart beats, slow or excessively fast heart rate) may
be caused, among other things, by heart disease, age,
physical predisposition, excessive use of stimulants,
stress or lack of sleep. Arrhythmia can only be ascer-
tained through examination by your doctor.
Repeat the measurement if the flashing icon
is
displayed after the measurement. Please note that you
should rest for 5 minutes between measurements and
